'Marking our 15-year anniversary, 2019 was a year of strong growth for Liberated Syndication as we built on our industry leading position in paid podcasting hosting, with a large, growing base of valuable monthly subscribers,' remarked Chris Spencer, Liberated Syndication CEO. 'Throughout the year, Libsyn continued to add value to podcasters as the market grew, and Pair continued to maintain its best-in-class hosting and domain offerings. We were successful in driving top-line growth, generating cash and positioning the Company for future expansion as the overall podcasting industry continues to accelerate and offer exciting opportunities.'

Spencer added, 'As we look ahead, we see a bright future for Libsyn. While the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted everyone around the globe, we have been very fortunate to see a continuation of 2019's growth with an increase in new podcast customer sign-ups in the first quarter, with April being our second-best month for sign-ups on record. Our customer churn has remained within the historical range and we are seeing an increase in episode creation by existing customers. We are focused on continuing to deliver high-quality services that enable podcasters to grow their brand during this difficult time. We expect to roll out our new Libsyn5 platform in the second half of 2020 and to accelerate the integration of advertising into our offerings to provide incremental value to our customers and drive revenue and profit growth for our shareholders.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash expenses ('Adjusted EBITDA') is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to operating profit, net income and other GAAP measures, is a useful indicator of the Company's financial and operating performance and its ability to generate cash flows from operations that are available for taxes, capital expenditures and debt service. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from other companies reporting a similarly named measure. This measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as revenue, net income and fully diluted earnings per share.
